Me and my friend spent time giving food to the community. This day was the busiest I’ve helped with by far, I spent most of my time restocking fruits, checking for egg damage, and bagging groceries for customers. The community is lucky to have places like Martha’s Table and the people who volunteer at it. Each volunteer is working hard to give back and it shows. Food is deeply connected to biology because it provides the raw materials and chemical energy that living organisms need to survive, grow, and function.

Food banks provide carbohydrates, proteins, and fats necessary to maintain a healthy diet.

Me and my friend spent time giving food to the community. This day I spent most of my time restocking fruits and vegetables that are important for everyone’s diet, regardless of income. The community is lucky to have places like Martha’s Table and the people who volunteer at it. Nutrition is highly important and connected to biology because it provides organisms ingest food to obtain molecules like glucose, which living organisms need to survive, grow, and function.

Today I had so much fun volunteering with 2 friends at Martha’s Table. We were tasked with distribution and packing up towards the end up the event. The primary biological purpose of food is to supply living cells with the matter and energy needed to survive. Food banks distribute nutrients necessary for the process. Overall the experience was wonderful and I will definitely be doing it again!
